A woman accused of attacking a man with a glass at a Suffolk pub has been convicted by a jury.

Before Ipswich Crown Court was pregnant 28-year-old Tia Billman who will be sentenced on Wednesday.

Billman, of Gainsborough Road, Stowmarket, denied assaulting Nathan Flack causing him actual bodily harm on October 7 and assaulting his friend Sophie Parkington by beating.

She was convicted of assaulting Mr Flack after a trial but cleared of the assault on Miss Parkington.

The court heard that Mr Flack and Miss Parkington had been in the smoking area at the Pickerel pub and Billman was there with her friends.

During the evening there was a disturbance and Billman had allegedly thrown a drink in Miss Parkington’s face.

When Mr Flack placed himself between Billman and Miss Parkington, Billman had picked up a glass which smashed on Mr Flack’s head causing a cut to his ear.
